When there head home they realize the entire clan is missing only to be ambushed by members of the Lin Kuei clan so they escape. While looking around Hanzo discovers the entire clan is dead, including his wife. They are then ambushed by members from the Lin Kuei, and so Hanzo fends them off, killing several in the process. Eventually, Sub-Zero (actually Quan Chi in disguise) appears threatening Hanzo to get down or Satoshi dies, he complies but "Sub-Zero" murders Satoshi anyway then murders Hanzo by impaling him on ice.

He is then resurrected in the Neatherrealm as is being tortured by the demon Moloch. Hanzo is able to escape and fights his way through several demons and eventually reaches Quan Chi, demanding to speak with him. Scorpion at first tries to kill Quan Chi, but Quan Chi uses his powers by manipulating Hanzo's body and twisting it in all sorts of painful ways. Quan Chi then makes Hanzo an offer to enter the tournament to exact his revenge on Sub-Zero. Hanzo agrees, now dubbing himself "Scorpion".

After arriving at the tournament Scorpion first attempts to steal Shinnok's amulet. But then Raiden appears and attempts to persuade Scorpion to not steal the amulet telling. Scorpion tells him he has no choice but to serve Quan Chi but Raiden says that he always had a choice convincing Scorpion to stop.

Scorpion continues participating in the tournament and even helps out the Heroes in fending of Kano's goons. Until he runs into Sub-Zero, Sub-Zero not knowing what's going on tries to walk away but an enraged Scorpion tackles him off a bridge into a spike pit, impaling them both and killing Sub-Zero. After that Quan Chi appears and tells Scorpion that he was the person really responsible for the massacre of his clan and family and that Sub-Zero had no part in it. This Enrages Scorpion more and he removes himself from the spike and plans to exact his revenge.

He is last seen after Liu Kang is nearly defeated by Goro but Scorpion kills Goro with his kunai and saves him. Shang Tsung attempts to have Scorpion fight Liu, but Scorpion takes Shang Tsung hostage and willingly forfeits his status as a fighter, securing Liu's position as the victor of the tournament. After Shang Tsung retreats to Outworld, the island begins to collapse, Quan Chi is then freed from Shang Tsung tries getting Scorpion to give him Shinnok's amulet, but now that Scorpion knows what he did, he refuses.

He stays on the island content with dying to join his family.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms[]

Scorpio's demise didn't last long, however. After seeing a vision of his family burning, Scorpion wakes up again in the Nether, surrounded by demons and approached by Shinnok. The evil god reveals to him that the key to merge with his soul when he died on the island, thus making him the only person who can open the Temple of Elements. After being threatened with being tortured to death again and again by Shinnok if he refuses to cooperate, Scorpion claims that he can always try to escape before killing some demons and fleeing through a portal to Earthrealm.

Scorpion later arrives at the Shaoling Temple where Earth Fighters begin to depart for the Outworld, stealthily remaining in hiding. Raiden notices his presence and just like Scorpion, he assumes that Shinnok willfully let him go. Scorpion then explains his unintentional role in Shinnok's plans because of the key and asks Raiden to remove the object from his soul, only for the latter to reveal that he is no longer a god now. Scorpion begins to think he better allow Shinnok to get the last Kamidogu and be done with it. Raiden then declares that Scorpio has hesitated for too long between shadow and light and that it is time for him to choose his side, as his wife and son arguably wanted.

Later, Scorpion is walking through a harbor when he suddenly comes under attack from the Lin-Kuei cyborgs, Cyrax, and Sektor. As the cyborgs get the better of Scorpion, they get frozen by Kuai Liang, the new Sub-Zero wanting revenge on Scorpion for killing his older brother on Shang Tsung Island. While Smoke fends off Sub-Zero, Scorpion manages to hold his own against Sektor and Cyrax but is eventually overtaken by them and crushed to the ground by Smoke, knocking him out and injuring him in the process.

As evening falls, the cyborgs bring Scorpion to the Kamidogu temple. Elder Shirai Ryu tries to resonate with them about what they are about to do, only to be forced to touch the temple door which opens at his touch. The Lin-Kuei prepare to finish him off as he comes to terms with his end by asking Arumi to forgive him. Suddenly, Sub-Zero appears and freezes the cyborgs again before confronting Scorpion one-on-one until the latter repatriates to the temple.

Arrived in a dirty ice, Scorpion dodges the ice shots of Sub-Zero who then confronts him on the death of his brother. Although Scorpion admits his regret for killing Bi-Han as well as the revelation of Quan-Chi's involvement, Sub-Zero refuses to believe him and the two begin to fight violently before being interrupted by the cyborgs. The two ninjas agree to join forces against their common enemy and succeed in burying them under debris of ice.

The next stop is the Kamidogu room where Sub-Zero sneakily tries to stab Scorpion from behind with an ice dagger but Scorpion is able to subdue him on the ground then tries to reason with him about what will happen if the Kamidogu falls into the wrong hands. . Sub-Zero says he doesn't care but Scorpion sees that he is a good person and explains to him that revenge does not bring peace but more suffering. Scorpion gives Sub-Zero the opportunity to finish him off just for him to finally let go of his desire for revenge, though he states he will never forgive Scorpion. The duo is unfortunately then attacked by the cyborgs who recover the Kamidogu and leave the two ninjas to be buried under the rubble of the temple.

Surviving thanks to an ice barrier, Scorpion and Sub-Zero travel to the Netherealm to stop Shinnok from gathering the Kamidogu but the Fallen God's demons prevent them from intervening in time, leading to Shinnok's transformation into a gigantic monster and the fusion of all kingdoms.

In this now unique chaotic Realm, Scorpion teams up with the other fighters to take on Shinnok, managing to damage the jewel on his skull but is quickly swept away by the giant. In the end, an Liu-Kang enhanced by the elder gods succeeds in killing Shinnok and restore the realms. Although the fight is over, the group suspects that another fight against Shao Kahn or someone else starts again in the future and they will be ready to face it.
